Then let nature do it for us. There is so much uncertainty surrounding the question that no one can say what the "population limit" is. We could have already passed it. It could be far larger than what people might think. And there really isn't any reliable way of determining which is more likely. So it would be a terrible idea to use this asa basis for creating population control measures, which at worst would be draconic, and at best could have potentially dangerous or unforseen consequences (like they did in China).
We should absolutely seek solutions to ensure the future health of our planet and humanity. But we also need to realize that some "solutions" aren't actual solutions and are well beyond what we can and should do.
